The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

At the Nine Netherbird Clan.

On the mountain that was behind the Nine Netherbird Clan, Mu Chen sat cross-legged on a green stone. After he left the Phoenix Clan, he had not returned to the Mu Estate, but had followed Nine Nether back to the Nine Netherbird Clan instead.

Since Nine Nether intended to refine the Quasi-Holy Blood Pellets to complete her evolution, Mu Chen intended to protect her as she did so. Moreover, he also needed a safe place to refine the 60 percent of the Quasi-Holy Blood Pellets that he had obtained from Huang Xuanzhi.

Mu Chen lifted up his head and looked at a huge mountain in the distance. There were no trees on the mountain, so it looked bare.

A high temperature exuded from the mountain, causing the heat to rise continually in the surroundings. Currently, Nine Nether was working on her evolution in the mountain.

“Nine Nether has gone into seclusion. I hope she can make it.” Clan Leader Tianhuang, who was standing beside Mu Chen, said as he looked at the mountain. Although he looked calm, Mu Chen felt that he was nervous.

“Don’t worry, she will definitely make it,” Mu Chen consoled him, while smiling.

The Clan Leader nodded and smiled at Mu Chen, saying, “You can go into seclusion during this period. I have already instructed my men to seal up the area within 100,000 miles. No one will be allowed to enter, so you will not be disturbed.”

A few days ago, when they had reached Nine Netherbird Clan, there was an uproar within the clan when they heard the news. Many of the clan members were infuriated that Huang Xuanzhi was eyeing the bloodline of Nine Nether’s Undying Bird. However, they could not do anything about it, as the Phoenix Clan was too powerful.

They had thought that Nine Nether would be doomed, but no one had expected that Mu Chen would interfere! Moreover, what really took everyone by surprise was that he had defeated Huang Xuanzhi!

When the people heard what Mu Chen had done, he suddenly become the idol of the entire younger generation in the Nine Netherbird Clan. When Mu Chen appeared in the Nine Netherbird Clan, many people looked at him with a glow in their eyes, which made him feel awkward.

Thus, when he heard what Clan Leader Tianhuang had said, he heaved a sigh of relief. He then said, “Thank you for this, Clan Leader Tianhuang.”

Tianhuang waved his hand and took another look at the mountain where Nine Nether was in seclusion. He then said, “I shall not disturb you then. My men will be on standby. If you need anything, feel free to tell them.”

When Mu Chen heard this, he smiled and nodded. The Clan Leader did not say another word, but he turned into a streamer and left.

When Mu Chen saw that Clan Leader Tianhuang had left, he looked grim. He took a deep breath and waved his sleeve. The three Blood Pellets shot out from his sleeve and hung in the air before him.

Mu Chen had sealed the Blood Pellets with spiritual energy runes in order to prevent the Blood Aura from leaking out. However, even under the seal, when the Blood Pellets appeared, Mu Chen could still feel the spirits of the Real Dragon and Real Phoenix moving, crying out covetously for it.

They are so anxious…

Mu Chen smiled as he formed a seal with his hands. His flesh and blood started to move and the figures of the dragon and phoenix appeared on the surface of his skin.

Swish!

The figures of the dragon and phoenix forced themselves out of Mu Chen’s body and expanded with the wind. They then turned into a huge dragon and a huge phoenix, flying high above Mu Chen!

The huge dragon and huge phoenix were golden in color. They looked majestic and extraordinary!

They were the Spirits of the Real Dragon and Real Phoenix. Their bodies were a little illusory at the moment, and they were unable to condense like substances. Moreover, the spiritual energy fluctuations that were coming from their bodies were only at the Complete Earthly Sovereign level.

“I hope that the Quasi-Holy Blood Pellets will not disappoint me,” Mu Chen muttered to himself.

He then flicked his fingers, causing the spiritual runes on the three Blood Pellets to disappear. After Mu Chen had broken the seal, the Blood Aura swirled out and filled the air, causing the entire area to turn red.

The Spirits of the Real Dragon and Real Phoenix that were lingering around cried out covetously. They opened their mouths and drew the Blood Aura into their bodies.

Although the Spirits of the Real Dragon and Real Phoenix continued to consume the Blood Aura, the three Blood Pellets were like a bottomless pit. They continued to spurt out a vast amount of Blood Aura in order to feed the Spirits of the Real Dragon and Real Phoenix, without showing any signs of running out. Apparently, they had a vast supply of Blood Aura.

There had not been any changes to the Spirits of the Real Dragon and Real Phoenix for years. As they continued to devour the Blood Aura, changes started to take place in them. Their golden bodies started to turn dark, while ancient runes began to appear on the scales of the dragon and the feathers of the phoenix.

When Mu Chen lifted up his head and saw this scene, he smiled. He knew that this was only the beginning.

In order for the Spirits of the Real Dragon and Real Phoenix to transform, they would need a large amount of Blood Aura to nourish them. Fortunately, the 60 percent of Quasi-Holy Blood Pellets had a good supply of Blood Aura.

The next step will be simply to wait… Mu Chen thought as he shut his eyes to enter the state of cultivation.

…

Mu Chen remained in this state for a whole month. During this month, the mountains in the area were filled with the Blood Aura. It was so strong that Blood Clouds started to form in the sky.

The scene looked frightening. Fortunately, people rarely came to this area, and due to the order that had been given by Clan Leader Tianhuang, no one dared to barge in.

Mu Chen opened his eyes and looked at the sky. He could no longer see the Spirits of the Real Dragon and Real Phoenix.

There were only Blood Clouds in the sky, and as they gathered together, they formed two huge Blood Eggs. The three Quasi-Holy Blood Pellets had shrunk to almost half their original sizes. However, a vast Blood Aura continued to spurt out from them.

Mu Chen broke out into a smile. He could sense that, deep within the Blood Clouds, two powerful lives were about to be born.

As Mu Chen shifted his eyes from the Blood Clouds to the barren mountain in the distance, he was shocked. He saw black flames coming out of the mountain!

As the black flames continued to burn, the towering mountain showed signs of melting. Something seemed to be coming back to life deep inside the mountain, as ancient and mysterious fluctuations exuded from it.

Looks like Nine Nether has come to the last stage of the evolution… Mu Chen was filled with anticipation. If Nine Nether successfully evolved, she would be a Heavenly Sovereign and would be considered to be a Sovereign Divine Beast!

I have to speed up…

With this thought in mind, Mu Chen changed his seal. The Blood Aura that emitted from the three Quasi-Holy Blood Pellets suddenly became richer. Mu Chen then shut his eyes again.

…

When Mu Chen opened his eyes again, it was because he had been awakened by a thunderous cry of a bird. He saw that the sky above the mountain where Nine Nether was at was covered by clouds. Lightning could also be seen amid the clouds, and it contained the destructive power of the Thunder Tribulation.

It is the Thunder Tribulation!

As Mu Chen looked at the thick thunder clouds, his gaze froze. The divine beasts had to go through natural calamities, just like the human beings, in order to break through to the Heavenly Sovereign level. Since the Thunder Tribulation had appeared, it meant that Nine Nether was just one step away from achieving her success!

Mu Chen looked at the thick thunder clouds and noticed the other spiritual energy fluctuations. He turned around and saw Clan Leader Tianhuang and the other elders of the Nine Netherbird Clan on a mountain peak in the distance. They were looking anxiously at the thick thunder clouds.

Boom! Boom!

At this moment, the thunder clouds in the sky suddenly exploded, while a humongous Lightning Beam came down from the heavens. The air in the area was filled with a charred smell, which revealed the horrifying power that it contained.

Crackle! Crackle!

As the Lightning Beam was about to blast onto the mountain with the black flames, a Black Fire Beam shot up into the sky and hit the Lightning Beam.

Dong!

There was a loud explosion when the Fire Beam and the Lightning Beam collided with each other, which caused the whole area to quake. After a while, the Fire Beam and the Lightning Beam dissipated.

Boom! Boom!

After that, the thunder clouds surged and Clan Leader Tianhuang and the other elders saw several Lightning Beams come down continuously from the sky, then blast toward the mountain. They seemed determined to destroy whatever was about to be formed.

In the face of the blasts, black flames spurted out from the mountain and formed a Fire Shield. This covered the mountain and allowed the lightning to come down on the shield instead of the mountain.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

As the lightning continued to come down on the shield, it became more powerful. The Black Fire Shield gradually lost its strength, and with a crack, it exploded.

The Thunder Clouds shrunk immediately, and in the next instant, a Thunder Beam that was even larger than the previous one came down from the sky and headed directly toward the mountain peak.

Clan Leader Tianhuang and the other elders were shocked to see that the mountain had started to break down. It was as though the mountain was being melted. In the twinkle of an eye, the mountain became flat!

Chirp!

However, at this moment, a huge black flame shot up into the sky and spread out its wings. Black flames were circling around it, and as it opened its large mouth, it was like a black hole that swallowed up the lightning with one gulp.

Then, a loud chirping sound shook the heavens and the earth. All of them were stunned, and they lifted up their heads, they saw a Black Phoenix flying around with black flames around it.

An ancient and mysterious fluctuation exuded from it, carrying with it a majestic aura. This aura spread out and covered the entire area.

Mu Chen looked at the burning Black Phoenix and took a deep breath, looking pleased. Nine Nether had finally completed the evolution. She had come out of the ordinary body of a divine beast and had become a Sovereign Divine Beast, the Primordial Undying Bird!

As Mu Chen was feeling joyful over Nine Nether’s success, suddenly, his gaze froze. He lifted up his head to look at the thick Blood Clouds, while feeling that the lives that were in it had reached their peak…

Finally, they are coming out!
